SOAP Connector

It is a connector that enables communication between web services using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). It is often used for XML-based communication.

Service Description

There are two component options for configuring a connector to communicate with SOAP:

  • SOAP Receiver Connector
  • SOAP Sender Connector

Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is a communications protocol used for web services communication. It enables the exchange of information especially between distributed systems. SOAP is an XML-based communication protocol. SOAP connector is an integration tool that allows an application to communicate with another application or system using the SOAP protocol.

Beginning

Follow these steps before starting the integration:

  • In order to use a SOAP-based web service in MIP, a WSDL document is needed that defines how to use this service. WSDL defines the functions, parameters and message structures of the service.
  • SOAP address and SOAP action are basic information for the client to access the web service and perform correct operations. This information allows the client to properly connect to the web service and perform the requested operations. When connecting to the SOAP web service, it is important to access it using the correct address and action.
  • If authorization is required, create credentials for the relevant authorization type in the Credentials tab on the Transactions page.
